Most people just starting out in Internet business want to make money fast, and that pushes them in a particular direction. We've seen it over and over again:

People just starting out tend to focus on "money-makers," not on growing a long-term business.

That's why affiliate marketing seems so appealing. I'm sure you've seen statements like this on sales pages that recommend affiliate marketing related courses or products:

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest, easiest ways to make money online. Best of all, you don't even need your own product!

That's absolutely true. But it's only part of the story. The "rest of the story" (as radio personality Paul Harvey might say) is that you're going to end up wanting your own product...and your own brand to put that product under...and your own business that you control pretty much 100%.

Affiliate marketing doesn't give you those things.

It's much smarter to start by focusing on growing your own business and brand, and use affiliate marketing as part of your overall strategy to make money while you do that. That's exactly what the reprint rights marketing model we're going to show you how to set up will let you do. It has three big advantages:

It's still relatively easy and inexpensive to set up...and you can make money with it quickly

It gets you started on growing your own business and brand

The income potential is still huge

In short, the right Internet business mindset is this:

You should focus on growing your own brand and business online, while you achieve a consistently positive cash flow quickly.

The reprint rights marketing model I'll walk you through fits that to a "T," and will keep you on the right mindset road over the long term.

In addition to the reprint rights marketing model, another way to achieve your own business and brand online is through Network Marketing and using a Virtual Business Network.

Many may criticize and discourage against Network Marketing; however, we found with the right company, this can be one of the most lucrative business models no matter what industry you are in. Another term may be Multiple Level Marketing.

You must consider the compensation plan, the product and the integrity of the company before jumping on board. You should look for a company that not only provides you long term residual income, but also immediate bonuses that allow you to be profitable immediately. These companies are absolutely available.

The biggest benefit of network marketing is the idea of working as a team. If you are injured or not able to work, your income does not stop. Others in your team are still working and thus income is still being deposited into your bank account.

Although Affiliate Marketing should not be your main source of income, it certainly is a decent supplemental income, we'll touch on this in later issues.

Blogging also offers decent supplemental income. In fact some earn a full time income from blogging, but this takes a considerable amount of time to build to this type of income. We believe in the theory of using a blog as advertising your brand and your product, rather than trying to earn income directly from your blog itself, although doable
